It blisters on the 1st as I'm using bond it

I charge by a day rate. And what I say is. You can paint it on or I can do it for you but if I charge by the day its going to cost you more as I'm not actually plastering. Very rarely I paint it myself as they want to save cash. I'm going to start going back to pva then unless it's artex...

I use it on all reskims, I can get the client to paint it on for me. Then go in and just have a easier day on it. I did use pva but some walls pulled in quicker then others, with blue grit it all goes off together? Plus will be a guaranteed key! Working now and blue grit is not blistering as...

Yea that's fine good advice. Can't do it today with the blue grit as its already been applyd. But will trowel up with SP and if it's blistering back end of set will open blade up with my MT. Cheers hopefully from now on I can crack this with the blue grit.

it then I'm thinking if it's going to blister ignor it and trowel up as normal but then at end tilt edge of blade more so it scrapes the bumps away the polish of at end?

For me I'm doing a job in morn I've got a easy gauge In the sense I have a 3x4m wall and a 2x4 ceiling to do, it's on blue grit too I think I will be leaving it longer then normal as it always blisters

So it's best to leave it five?

Applys

All this apples the same going over bond it as it I'm struggling with blisters?

So what I have gathered is 1st and 2nd coat give it five mins then trowel with supaflex. Give it 20mins then another trowel n repeat process till finished or do you do it 3times at most with 2in rest In between?

I'm no expert with the s*p*r*lex but doesn't it blister if you trowel too early?

When I say wet I mean where it's not browning off as near as set hope that helps

First coat lay the second coat 3 trowels with 20min or do break/rest then a final trowel when set or just gone off? That's been enough for me for 10+years all with Marshalltown

So how would you use it? First n second coat applied then trowel up with the super flex as normal. Or do u trowel up 3 times and if it's still wet leave it as its good enough to paint. ?? Help please

I've just bought into this refina lark, and can't see any improvements as yet still a lot of tinkering to do! The thing that I'm doing is leaving it as late as loss n then trowel up. The only thing I notice is its more forgiving in the elbows
